That's a long known problem. There are standard (=male) dummies, children dummies and baby dummies but not women dummies. This causes many problems with women drivers and passengers in the case of a crash - especially if that crash is frontal https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/crash-test-bias-how-male-focused-testing-puts-female-drivers-at-risk/

not true anymore. dummies come in all shapes and sizes, even pregnant ones.

wellcome to america where you are still 50 years behaind europe

Out of date. Many countries also test with women and child dummies now.

With all the respect: the vehicle sturdiness plays a role. In statistics, things are recorded as accidents, but men tend to drive more pickup trucks, while some women preferred smaller cars. I lived in a college town, and I saw many female college students driving Volkswagen Beetle, Mini cooper while male Students leaned towards pickup trucks (yes, pick up trucks are very popular in some places in the USA). I am happy to see that now all are favoring small/midsized SUV. (Again, not bashing this study, just wanted to highlight the additional factor in safety: small vehicle and big vehicle, and the simple physics). Stay safe, everyone

This one is scandalous.

This might be the case for some countries but the Euro NCAP (safety requirement for all motor vehicles in Europe) has been using test dummies of all shapes and sizes (including baby, toddler, child and teenager) for years.

Throw in the fact that women are terrible drivers, I agree. They shouldn't be allowed to have licences. Or maybe they can buy more suitable cars instead of demand that everything be tailored to them and f**k everyone else. So many choices available. I don't need to convince anyone. Anyone of standard size has sat in cars that they can barely fit their legs into. What a dishonest person. Straight out of the gate.

You all realise that cars today have adjustable seats and steering wheel in all directions. I have seen countless times women driving big cars with hardly seeing anything out of the car. Lift. Your. Seat. They are just not bothered to adjust the seat.

I spent 7 years trying to find a good antidepressant. A friend of mine (a woman), knowing that I was a sensitive person, recommended I try the lowest dose. I found the 'right medication' right after, it's 75% of the minimum dose of a medication I already tried, which is usually prescribed just to see if there are no side-effects before being doubled. I open the small capsule every morning to empty it a bit. My doctor believes it's in my head, that I should not feel it at such a small dose. It's not the first time this happens.

If a woman under 45 is ill its dismissed as "hormone trouble". If a woman over 45 is ill it's dismissed as "menopause" No need to examine further...

Same for seats on trains. I've noticed how they are custom built for a man of about 1,75 m sitting upright. Don't dare being smaller or the back of your head will be pushed forward by the "neck rest" intended for the taller man!

They invented a male pill. It was considered to have too many side effects. So they made one for women. Same amount of side effects, but now considered acceptable.

They often have the same footprint as the men's restrooms. One key difference is that, even if you have the same number of stalls, there will still be a longer line outside the women's toilets because women have to take longer. For a pee - a man has to open a zip, whip out his penis, relax a few muscles, shake, replace and wash his hands. Women need to first get half-undressed (literally, the bottom half must be undressed) to perform the same function. Women's lines would be shorter if we were given different equipment to use. And that's without entering into menstruation delays. Really, to be equal in timing, women need more stalls.

I heard about this a while ago, and I am still shocked by it.

Practically dislocate my arm every time

This makes sense, actually. Alexa understands me almost every time I speak to her. However, my wife has to repeat herself to Alexa half of the time.

To be fair it is easier to wear an extra layer, than to undress. Considering male white color drescode -- men have to wear a jacket almost all the time, while for women it is ok to wear just a dress, or short sleave, or have a skirt/pants that doesnt cover her entiraly. As a woman i think we have it easier and have more options then it comes to temperature at workplace.

Girls also get under-diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, because we have less visibly obvious symptoms. Boys often present with hyperactivity, but girls are more likely to have distractibility and focus problems.

The original CPR dummy was named Annie ("Annie Are You Ok? Are you OK, Annie?") and the face was modeled after a woman, however the body did not have breasts because it was "unseemly" to present such a model in public. This is changing, but many of the CPR dummies today do not have breasts.

And pockets in women's pants are much too small for them ...

I've yet to sit on public transport or a plane and get my knees into to the gap between my seat and the one in front!

Similar with FFP2 masks - I think that meanwhile you can get them in different sizes but not all sizes are available everywhere (the smaller ones are harder to get) and the standards ones don't fit properly on smaller faces

Not only that, but battery driven machines are too heavy for me to use over more than five minutes. My wrists kill me. I had to spend DOUBLE the amount of money on a drill that plugs into the wall and has a smaller grip.

Nor can a lot of men.

They don't count steps if you walk with your hands in your pockets either. It's just not a very accurate device.

I haven't been to the gym in 15yrs, but when I was last there all of the equipment was adjustable using 'pull-pins' and other easy adjustment methods. I would expect todays newer equipment to even more so.

One of the things to keep in mind when looking for a new one - I have relatively small hands
